Abstract

This paper approaches both the theoretical and practical aspects of the locomotor system regarding axial deviation of the knee. The approach is based on well-founded arguments and supported by specialized methods and means.

Tibial osteotomy is a curative method for knee disorders by correcting the position of the bones as well as correcting walking and facilitating the daily life.

This surgery is indicated for the treatment of unbalanced knee joint, with articular stiffness, in the case of osteoarthritis in active middle-aged or third-age patients.

Medical recovery after proximal tibia osteotomy is an important part of the healing process and also a longer process compared to other knee interventions such as total or single-piece knee arthroplasty. It is the physical therapist who decides the implementation of this protocol in an appropriate treatment plan. Some exercises can be adapted depending onthe recovery clinic equipment. This protocol must also be adapted to the patient's pre-operative deficits.

Articular remobilization is the primary objective of recovering post-traumatic and postoperative joint sequelae. Articular mobility is achieved through passive and active movements. The primary role of joint mobilization is to develop the ability of the movements. The articular stability is achieved by toning the muscles. For muscular toning are performed isometric exercises, resistance movements.

The patient with gonarthrosis - knee arthrosis that leads to articular axial deviations and underwent this axial realignment surgery, conformed to the established kinetoterapeutic programme, following all stages and recovering the physical function of the affected limb prior to surgery.
